Orangestar, in an ideal world, I would agree with you. But, the problem I have with eliminating gun sales all together (just police officers or other government personnel being issued a piece), is that what you would end up with is:
People Who Would Own Guns:
1. Government Personnel
2. Hunters (maybe, as you said)
3. Criminals who obtained them illegally
What is missing? The innocent, decent, law-abiding citizen who now has no effective method to protect himself and his family from the armed criminals.
